2024 and the graphics fix still works! THANK YOU SO MUCH

Another set of fixes that I *STRONGLY* recommend are the "Critical Fixes: Unofficial AL Patch" by J.M. Pescado (hosted on ModTheSims). EA left TS2 in a semi-broken state. When it released the Ultimate Collection, the bugs were still there. This patch is almost a necessity for long-term play and if you don't want to experience game-breaking bugs and creeplying corruption issues. For example, without this patch, unplayed kids living in apartments lose grades every single day and are eventually taken by the social worker.

If others are having weird, jagged artifacts flashing frequently, especially when moving the camera, like I was, going into the graphics settings and switching 'Edge Smoothing' from Less to More fixed that for me. Thank god, too, because that was really annoying.

even though i'm experienced with ... downloading (🏴‍☠) things ... i really appreciate how accessible this video is for everybody !! the lil moment where you made sure to say "don't right click on an existing folder" when explaining how to make a new folder was really endearing . you're really good at explaining stuff ! tysm for this series :)

Hello gurl, I have downloaded 5 versions of Sims 2 Installer in all over the internet ( from old games download, Mr DJ repack, etc ) but none of them works for my PC thou, I was super irritating because my PC can install Sims 3 and Sims 4 perfect like a charm but not with Sims 2, so today I tried one more time, one more attempt to get Sims 2 work for my PC, and I tried to download from the Osab's links you sent below... and with the graphic maker rules setting, finally Sims 2 work in my PC !!! !!! I'm so happy it's finally working!!! After a ton of downloads, finally I can play Sims 2 on my PC, the happiest moment is seeing Sims 2 finally launchs instead of the square box that says Sims 2 has error, once again, thank you so much for your tutorial !

[CHVNTSIMS]

Thank you! Im sure people will find this super helpful now more than ever as everyone is fed up with sims4 being so god damn boring and glitchy lol

[ivyanna]

Thank you so much! My game is running so much better now, love your videos 💗

[violet]

Thank you so much!! I have been wanting to play Sims 2 again for the longest time and could not figure out how amidst the crashing and flashing pink. Your tutorial was so easy to follow and I am so grateful you put in the time and effort to make this video. Now on to watch part 3!

[Tipsey_McStagger]

Thank you SO much! I was so frustrated trying to get my game to work. I read and watched so may other tutorials that were just so complicated or just plain badly explained. I really appreciate you taking the time to slow things down because I needed that simplicity! Thankyou again!x

[jwaters]

This tutorial made my game playable!!! You’re fantastic for this

[thetimshow]

Worked like a charm, and now my game is playing without any issues. You rock! Thanks so much

After not playing the sims 2 since last year, I had completely forgotten about sims2rpc. This video is a lifesaver for making me remember it!!

[BTS-mlxt]

thank you so much for this guide and the previous video too. you helped me a lot 💜

[maddhatterslife]

This whole tutorial I was on the edge of my seat wondering if I did everything right. Then I launched. I have never played the sims 2 but I always wanted to. Thank you so much. I also followed a lot of your sims 3 tutorials with mods and such. Thanks so much. I'm not amazing at computers. I know a little bit and the tutorial was perfect :)

[anastasiavorobets]

Amazing! Game works like a charm. Thank you for everyone involved in making this happen! You are angels! I forgot how awesome Sims2 is!!! I can't believe how long ago it was created and how it's gameplay was way ahead of it's time!

[fulgnn]

omg!! i am just getting into the sims 2 and you are soo sweet, they not only help me but ur videos are making me feel very safe <33

Graphic Rules Maker legit saved my game, thank you for explaining it so nicely and easy to follow! I edited the sgr file, downloaded the shadow fix mod, and everything above and beyond for this game. It wasn't until your video with the graphic rules maker that things are running perfectly smooth :') thank you so much!!

[cananyonerelate]

Helped me so much and so excited to get playing again!! Appreciate it so much x

This is never mentioned anywhere but if you have a 144hz laptop with no 60hz support, you'll need an extra step.
To actually play the game, you need to make a shortcut of the Sims 2 EP9 executable. Then open the properties of the shortcut and on the target line, add this in front of it: -w -r1920x1080 (this depends on the max res of your screen, mine is 1080p)
It will make the game run in windowed mode within your max resolution so it's the closest thing to fullscreen you can get.

You'll not be able to edit the resolution ingame or in the graphics rules file, for some reason this game hates 144hz displays and it's impossible to play unless you do this or use janky software to downclock the refresh rate of your monitor.
